Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (He's Cheeky) (3-1) - He's dropping in class in his second start facing winners. Grey colt was extremely wide last out when beaten four lengths facing tougher May 18. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez moves him down and Irad Ortiz Jr back aboard following a one race absence.

2nd pick: #7 (Noneedtoflatterme) (8-1) - Lightly-raced longshot is racing first of a Ray Handal claim. Gelding broke his maiden here going seven furlongs on the dirt May 12 for a $20K tag. Handal moves him up in class, switches him to the grass, and stretches him out in distance. Bred for the surface and $115K purchase has plenty of room for upside.

3rd pick: #4 (Benny Big Boy) (8-1) - 'Benny' moves back to the grass for the first time since last fall. He has early speed and is capable of getting a share of this at a big price.

4th pick: #3 (Union Riches) (5-2) - Gelding by 'Union Rags' is racing first of a Linda Rice claim (a strong 35% winning angle). He raced poorly on a wet track last out but had been sharp in both previous grass attempts. Must be left in the mix.
